I had IRS Betas, which had much larger L-EMIMs and they still didn't really go low enough to blend correctly with the woofer towers. They wanted 115Hz (or higher) and the woofers wanted 80Hz (or lower).

There wasn't a hole per se but there was a clear sonic mismatch between the two driver technologies.

Down at 80 Hz and below the woofer tower should be largely omni-directional but at 115Hz it was too directional and then you have a radiation pattern mismatch.

I also had a pair of Genesis VI speakers with metal cone woofers front an back...that blended seamlessly with dipole midbass coupler and dipole dome midrange (amazing driver). Tweeters front and back completed the dipole radiation pattern. A very good speaker, actually, as was the Genesis V.
